Location:  Class & Range - held at 52 Schell Rd, Victoria, - about two miles from the Victoria Mall.
 
Directions: From the intersection of 463 (Zac Lentz Parkway) and Salem Rd - take Salem Rd out of town one mile. Turn right on Schell Rd. The first house facing Schell Rd is my residence. The green building in the back yard this is the classroom. You may park in the driveways or use the graveled parking area of the Falcon Company yard located across the street.
        
                                        Please do not park in the ditches.
 
Range – Bring your gun, .32 cal or larger, w/ 50rds of factory ammo. Your shooting accessories should include a cap or visor along with eye and ear protection. Wear suitable clothing with shoes that cover the top of the feet. Sandals and like shoes are not allowed at the range. The range is covered but it is outdoors - plan to spend about two hours in the elements.
 
Classroom –   If possible – turn off cell phones. Dress comfortable. The classroom has central air and heat.  No loose (visible) guns in class -  leave them locked in your vehicle or have them properly concealed.

Lunch - New classes-there will be a 45 min. lunch break. You may eat here or in town.
        Renewal classes - bring something with you to eat. There will not be a break for supper.
Also, bring any special items that you may need during the day.
Soft drinks and water will be available.

  Ways to Apply with the State: 
 
Option 1:  Apply Online : 
 
Complete & submit the CHL web application, application fee, schedule electronic fingerprints with L1, take a class from a CHL instructor, then complete the application process by mailing in supplemental documents and proof of CHL course.
 
Option 2: Download Application & Forms from CHL website: Then complete the application process by mailing in the paper application, supplemental documents, any applicable fee, and proof of CHL course. (Note: Applicants cannot schedule electronic fingerprints until their application is received by the Department.)
.
My suggestion - take the CHL class first. Once you pay online the State cannot refund your money. The online application process takes most people about 15 to 20 min. to complete.
